I can confirm that there is a real situation here. I have seen threat letters from the COS stemming from Yulias sworn statements.
Not sure if I will laugh or cry about this one, has the potential to get really big.
The tragedy part is Yulia and her situation personally and with her children and her life state of affairs, as a former ex SO member. She was homeless, lost her kids, no where to go.
The comedy is the COS who first hired her, does no background checks on SO members because they are so desperate for people, walks in with pockets full of off the shelf amateur spy gear, no one notices, holds her up under interrogation in an airport hotel, allows her to blab all over the internet AFTER they sent out legal threats to a bunch of people as co-conspirators to theft and crimes who had no idea what was going on. It is obvious their e-meters didn't catch anything, so any one that sec checked her or meter checked her will be commeved and on the RPF. I promise that Yulia doesn't have legal representation.
I am certain, right now, the COS is scurrying to get the toothpaste back into the tube. It sucks to be a COS lawyer these days.
It is mind blowing that a person in Yulias circumstances could pull something like this off.
It is sad the the COS has created such an environment that people feel like they need to do things like this to expose the abuses.
I don't know Yulia personally outside of a few face book pleasantries a long time ago.
